UK Sponsor Register Search + Alerts (Apify Actor prototype)
Searches the official GOV.UK Register of licensed sponsors: workers and optionally alerts on sponsors added/removed between runs.
Source and licence
- Publication page: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-of-licensed-sponsors-workers
- Verified 2026-10-31: register CSV updated every weekday (latest observed: 2026-10-30). The asset URL changes with each update; the Actor locates the current CSV from the publication page at run time.
- Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (attribution required).
- Full register observed: 143,198 rows, ~11 MB CSV.
What the register does and does not contain
Fields available: organisation name, town/city, county, type & rating, sponsorship route. NOT available: industry/SIC codes, live vacancies, whether an organisation is hiring or willing to sponsor. Do not market industry filtering or job matching. Output is factual register data only and is not immigration advice.
Input
query (name substring), town, county, route (exact, e.g. "Skilled Worker"), typeRating (exact, e.g. "Worker (A rating)"), maxItems, trackChanges.
Change tracking
Compares the current run's filtered matches with the previous run's (stored in the default key-value store). The first run saves a baseline and reports no added/removed lists - historical diffs are impossible without a prior snapshot.
Local development
npm test- deterministic unit tests (node:test, no dependencies) against real fixtures:fixtures/register-sample.csv(300 real rows incl. quoted/comma names) andfixtures/publication-page.html(real gov.uk page saved 2026-10-31).- Core logic in
src/lib.jsis dependency-free; the Apify SDK is only used insrc/main.js.
Known follow-ups before deploy
npm installthenapify pushfrom an authenticated machine (deployment worker owns).- Pricing unit deliberately NOT set here: per-returned-row vs per-run/per-alert trade-offs differ from the payment detector and need an owner decision.
- Attribution line for OGL must appear on the store page; also emitted in the run OUTPUT record.
